Kowloon Walled City (Chinese: 九龍城寨) was an extremely densely populated and largely lawless enclave within the boundaries of Kowloon City of former British Hong Kong. Built as an imperial Chinese military fort, the walled city became an enclave of the Qing dynasty in 1898, when the New Territories were leased to the United Kingdom. Due to disagreements with the British authorities and political instability within China around the time, neither took jurisdiction over the enclave, creating a power vacuum.
Enjoying wide popularity during her tenure and often dubbed as "Iron Lady" and the "Conscience of Hong Kong", Chan became increasingly outspoken about pushing for a faster pace of the democratisation in Hong Kong and defending the autonomy of Hong Kong. Supported by the pan-democracy camp, she stood in the 2007 Hong Kong Island by-election and briefly served as member of the Legislative Council. After her retirement in 2008, she continued to lobby domestically and internationally for democracy and autonomy of Hong Kong, until her retirement from public life entirely in 2020.
